How to configure AP to access DNS server?

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

I have a C7 running as a AP. The WAN is disabled and upstream connection to the main router (which provides DNS) is done from a LAN port. Generally it works well, but DNS does not work on the router.

For a normal router I could set

network.wan.dns='8.8.8.8'

but referencing the WAN does not make sense here.

How do I let my AP look up names?

Figured it out. Defining these makes DNS work on the router.

network.lan.gateway='192.168.16.1'
network.lan.dns='192.168.16.1'
